The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area of North Queensland is not only a precious ecological asset, it has also become one of Australia’s most outstanding attractions for local, interstate and international visitors. Queensland’s reputation and status as a tourism destination owes much to its natural environment, not least the wonders of our tropical forests and landscapes. Tourism in the World Heritage Area alone is estimated to generate over A$750 million (Driml 1997) of economic benefit for local communities each year. The Wet Tropics region has experienced significant increases in domestic and international tourism over the past twenty years, with some two million visitors per year in 1995 and an estimated three million in 2003. Recent projections suggest that tourist numbers will reach four million per year by 2016, with an increase in international visitors being a major contributing factor. The recent Wet Tropics Visitor Survey (Bentrupperbäumer and Reser, 2002) has estimated about 4.4 million visits per year to recognised Wet Tropics World Heritage Area sites, with sixty percent of these visits by domestic and international tourists. The remaining forty percent were local residents engaging in rainforest-based recreational activities. In addition, it is estimated that some 270,000 people will live in the Wet Tropics region by 2016, placing increasing pressure on the World Heritage Area. The Wet Tropics Nature Based Tourism Strategy (Wet Tropics Management Authority 2000) and Wet Tropics Walking Strategy (Wet Tropics Management Authority 2000) both address tourism and recreation issues in the World Heritage Area, and both have identified the need to develop a Visitor Monitoring System for ongoing evaluation of the environmental condition of some 180 recognised visitor nodes and sites in the area. Successful strategies to address these needs requires sound scientific advice on environmental impacts of visitation and use on the World Heritage Area. Only on this basis can effective management tools and practices be implemented to achieve sustainable outcomes. The initial proposal for the Visitor Monitoring System was discussed with the Rainforest CRC’s Program 4 Support Group in 2001, the role of which is to ensure that researchers and research users collaborate at every stage of the project. With strong endorsement from the Support Group, the Visitor Monitoring System has been designed to provide advice to managers of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area on the basis of a hierarchical monitoring system that engages tour operators, park rangers and researchers. Once operational, the Visitor Monitoring System will allow environmental agencies to base land-management decisions on sound scientific advice – a crucial requirement that has been identified by industry, conservation groups and management agencies. While specifically designed for the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, this ‘gold-standard’ three-volume best practice manual is sufficiently generic to be of considerable value to protected area managers in other parts of Australia and overseas. Tourism, research and conservation have a strong mutual interest. The Rainforest CRC has a long-term commitment to tourism research in tropical Australia, and the tourism industry has long been a major user of its research and a driver of the CRC’s research agenda for the last ten years. i Wilson, Turton, Bentrupperbäumer and Reser I congratulate the Rainforest CRC, the authors and the production team for the practical and highly valuable contribution they have made to sustainable tourism and conservation. I recommend the Visitor Monitoring System tools to all stakeholders in industry and in government agencies, and look forward to a continued tourism industry partnership with all stakeholders of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area. Daniel Gschwind Chief Executive Officer Queensland Tourism Industry Council ii Visitor Monitoring System – Volume 3: Case Studies TERMS OF REFERENCE DEVELOPMENT OF A VISITOR MONITORING SYSTEM FOR THE WET TROPICS WORLD HERITAGE AREA The following Terms of Reference are quoted directly from the Wet Tropics Management Authority Contract (No. 658). Purpose of the Contract The Wet Tropics Nature Based Tourism Strategy (NBTS) and Wet Tropics Walking Track Strategy (WS) identify the need for a visitor monitoring system (VMS) associated with nature based tourism and recreation activities in the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area (WTWHA) and surrounding areas. The proposed VMS aims to build on past and current research and monitoring of visitor management, coordinating the work of various researchers and land managers to provide a comprehensive and practical system for monitoring all aspects of visitor management. The project provides a necessary link between the research goals of Rainforest CRC Programs 3 and 4, which are essentially concerned with rainforest visitation and usage at regional and local level, respectively. Aims of the Project The aim of this project, essentially, is to design a robust, efficient, practical and cost-effective VMS for the WTWHA and environs, which assists management in identifying whether visitor management objectives are being met so that appropriate management responses can be made. Key Attributes Required of the VMS Design The VMS must be efficient, practical and cost-effective to implement. The design should be recognised by both tourism interests and protected area managers as a robust, useful and worthwhile system for tourism and visitor management information and as a support for decision-making. The site-monitoring component, which requires ongoing monitoring by field staff and/or tour operators, should be able to be readily incorporated into regular visitor management and tour operations. The benefits of conducting such monitoring must be readily demonstrable to field staff. The VMS can be applied across the range of visitor site scenarios occurring in the study area (N.B. site monitoring elements are to be demonstrated at four pilot sites as part of this project). The VMS design will also incorporate: • Monitoring at other key regional locations (e.g. information centres, airports); • Survey components and associated questionnaires to complement ongoing monitoring systems. (N.B. As part of a separate but complementary project, the Rainforest CRC will be designing and undertaking site visitor surveys to plug into this VMS. However, this VMS project will need to design more intensive and targeted survey components for the iii Wilson, Turton, Bentrupperbäumer and Reser four pilot sites, and ensure such surveys are completed as part of the 2001/2002 survey project); • Elements associated with monitoring pre-destination marketing, promotions

  • ORGANISERS BULLETIN Competition – Technical Information
    ORGANISERS BULLETIN Competition – Technical Information Competition Area The selected area in the Cairns Highlands within 40 minutes’ drive from Cairns is well suited to rogaining offering challenges for all types of rogainers from social to competitive. The competition area comprises portions of the Dinden State Forest, Bilwon State Forest, Davies Creek National Park and some private property. Dinden State Forest straddles the Lamb Range which is that part of the Great Dividing Range behind Cairns. Rainforest cloaks the wetter eastern slopes of the range where Lake Morris, the main water reservoir for Cairns, is situated. Eucalypt woodland occupies the drier rain- shadowed areas on the western slopes. Between these two contrasting vegetation types runs a strip of a rare forest type known as wet sclerophyll. The first European to sight the area back in 1876 was John Atherton who established a home for his family and 1500 head of cattle near what is now known as the town of Mareeba. Gold was discovered in Davies Creek in the early 1900s and logging in the area also began around this time. Historic pack routes, used to transport supplies between the coast and the Atherton Tableland, pass through Dinden State Forest. Bilwon State Forest is situated to the west of Dinden National Park and comprises about 10,000 hectares of steep gully spur terrain, broad valleys and flat lightly forested grassy plains. Davies Creek National Park includes part of the Davies Creek valley, a rugged landscape of rocky granite outcrops, ridges, boulders and slabs. The creek drops about 75 m down the granite escarpment at Davies Creek Falls.

  • Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls
    Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls The Atherton Tablelands is one of the best-kept secrets in Australia and is full of attractions, natural wonders, charming towns and villages and plenty to see and do. The Atherton Tablelands waterfalls are one of the most popular highlights and this guide will help you work out which ones to see and how to get to them.

This goes towards the running costs of this site. Where is the Atherton Tablelands? The Atherton Tablelands is a very fertile region located around 90 kilometres west of Cairns in Far North Queensland. It covers almost 65,000 square kilometres from the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area in the east, the Einasleigh Uplands in the south, the Gulf Plains to the west and the Cape York Peninsula in the north. Its this expanse and its elevation that means it lacks the humidity of the coastal parts of FNQ and has a fairly temperate climate. Much of the tablelands is also set on a volcanic plateau making the soil rich in nutrients and home to many thriving farms and producers. The area is known for its beef cattle, dairy products and crops such as bananas, mangoes, avocadoes, coffee, mixed vegetables and even tobacco. The main towns on the Tablelands are Mareeba, Malanda, Millaa Millaa, Kuranda, Yungaburra and of course, Atherton. Atherton Tablelands Waterfalls When to visit the Atherton Tablelands With such a temperate climate the Atherton Tablelands is actually great to visit year-round.
